Getting a Gun in D.C.: Not As Easy As You Might Think
In response to the Supreme Court’s verdict in District of Columbia v. Heller, the D.C. City Council has already passed a new law to restrict gun owners in ways that fall just short of an outright ban. In the Heller case, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed something that many of us already knew, the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides law-abiding citizens a fundamental right to keep and bear arms. In the majority opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote, “the American people have considered the handgun to be the quintessential self-defense weapon…A complete prohibition of their use is invalid.” From that, one could reasonably think that law-abiding citizens in the District of Columbia could keep guns in their homes for self-defense purposes. Not so fast, like most policy questions in Washington, the devil is in the details. While many were quick to praise this integral step towards protecting rights granted in the Constitution, anyone who follows politics knows victories are temporary at best.
Prestigious Free-Market Group Names Cubin a “Friend of the American Motorist”
Representative Barbara Cubin (R-WY) was named a “Friend of the American Motorist” by Americans for Prosperity (AFP) for earning a 100% score on the group’s “Freedom from Foreign Oil” scorecard. The scorecard ranks U.S. Representatives based on their support for – or opposition to – policies that would lower gas and energy prices by increasing American energy supplies. Cubin was among a select group of House lawmakers to receive a perfect score on AFP’s scorecard.
